Different meanings of child. To parents someone is always their child no matter how old they are. This is a distinct notion of child as in "human below the age of maturity". Child in this sense means closer to genetic/memetic offspring that they have raised.

Fair enough, but it probably should have been phrased as "murder of one's child".

Ok, fixed.
